Big Bend Loop

Big Bend Loop is a 3.7 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Durham, North Carolina that features a river and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

Part of Duke Forest, good trail for trail running and walking your dog if you stay on the gravel roads. If you walk the primitive foot trail connector along the creek, expect there to be some scrambling on the rock wall, look for lots of roots, overwash, bugs, and overgrown areas. I suspect this is not maintained and am not a fan of this one.

Great trail! Runs along the river for the majority of the way. There is some rock crossings along the way that make it a Difficult level but really fun. We did it with our dog who loved it! Can connect to other trails as well.

Good loop. Very quiet trail. Can easily connect to other trails to increase distance.
